The international break is here, and while this is normally a nightmare for club football fans, some international matches are really worth watching. One of them is Thursday’s clash between Croatia and Spain in the UEFA Nations League.
This game will feature Barcelona superstars Ivan Rakitic, Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba, who’s making his first appearance for Spain under new manager Luis Enrique. Alba has been spectacular for Barça, and his form is rewarded with a return to his national team.
The Nations League is not a friendly competition, and this game has real meaning: there’s a spot in the Final Four at stake for both nations.
